I believe this is a bug because it contradicts check-ignore documentation:

  0 - One or more of the provided paths is ignored.
  1 - None of the provided paths are ignored.
I think the doc was written with primarily positive entries in mind
(it might even predate the introduction of the feature to allow
negative entries in the file), so it might need to be adjusted with
something like s/be ignored/match the pattern/, perhaps?
